For John McCain: “In the fell clutch of circumstance / I have not winced nor cried aloud. / Under the bludgeonings of chance / My head is bloody, but unbowed.” -- from “Invictus,” William Ernest Henley (1849-1903)

Agree with Buzz regarding failures of some current members of NH school board. Extending superintendent's contract only -- unjustifiably -- benefits him, not our schools. Let's elect some new voices.

To those who complain tax cuts go to the rich or corporations, do you think they put it under the mattress? It’s plowed back into the economy creating more growth.

Russian meddling in our election occurred during Obama’s administration. After two years of investigation, there is no proof of collusion between Trump and Russia.

It’s a shame all the wonderful statesman-like comments made about John McCain by Democrats Schumer, Pelosi, Waters, etc., could never be said about themselves.

Smithfield can’t support farmers. They must spend money on lawyers because new neighbors moving into old farming regions are suing Smithfield for long-existing conditions. Like the airport syndrome?

U.S. already tried socialism. Jamestown colony. It failed. Why are some folks even thinking about it again?

Why it costs more to live in Wilmington city limits? Look at the trash and filth on roads overseen by New Hanover County and N.C. Department of Transportation.

David Rouzer supports Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods, which is minimizing hog waste management costs here in order to benefit China's pork market. Should he be registered as foreign agent?

Am I the only one that thinks all the accolades heaped on John McCain by Democrats are just another opportunity to demonize Trump because of his well-known disagreements with McCain?
